Tutorial Keryx 1.0 Tutorial

Keryx 1.0 has only been tested on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10. Older versions of Ubuntu should use Keryx 0.92. 1) Create a prole. This can simply be downloaded from the Premade section. You can also go to your oine computer, install the Keryx deb, create the project, copy it from ~/keryx/proles to your ash drive, but thats a lot more work. 2) Open the prole, this will download the latest list of packages. 3) Select the software you would like to install. It will download, and you can then go home. 4) Install the software either with Synaptics File->Add Downloaded Packages feature or try using the Keryx installation method, by opening the prole after installing Keryx on your oine machine with the deb.
The following tutorial is for Keryx 0.92 only

What if everything goes right?
Getting Keryx
26 1 04 2011 11:02
Grab Keryx from the Download page and extract it to your ash drive.
Starting Keryx
On Linux
Linux: Navigate to the keryx/linux directory on your ash drive and double-click the keryx icon.
On Windows
Windows: Navigate to the keryx/win32 directory on your ash drive and double-click the keryx or keryx.exe icon.
From Source
OSX: You will need to install GTK-OSX and wxPython on OSX. You can then run keryx/source/keryx.py If you are running Keryx on an Ubuntu installation older that 8.10, you will not be able to use the Linux executable. Instead, follow the instructions for running from source (on the Wiki).
Creating a Project
New projects MUST be created on your oine computer!! After starting Keryx, enter the name of your project (or leave the default) and click New Project. Alternatively you can see if a pre-made project has been contributed on the forums.
When asked whether you would like to download the latest package lists, choose No, then exit Keryx.
Opening a Project
26 2 04 2011 11:02
Start Keryx and choose your project from the bottom drop-down menu. Then click Open Project.
If you would like to have the latest packages available for download, choose Yes when prompted whether to download latest package lists (recommended).
Installing Packages
Open your project and select Install Packages from the Project menu. Check all the packages you want to install and click Continue.
A terminal will display the progress of package installation. After installation is complete, press ENTER.
26 3
04 2011 11:02
So that Keryx will know that you have installed new packages, you should now update the project status (Project > Update Status). For a more detailed, step-by-step tutorial, see the one on crashsystems.net.
And if something goes wrong?

There are several ways to get help with a problem. You can report a bug on Launchpad ask on the Forums or on Launchpad contact our mailing list chat with us in #keryx on Freenode.

Again, good work and keep up. Luca

If you go to the PPA's page, you can click on the green link that says "Technical details about this PPA." That will give you the lines that you need to add to your sources.list le inside your project folder. Then just refresh the package lists in Keryx and you should be good.

Thanks for the help, but I'm giving up on this one. Usually, what you don't understand, you can gure out from the interface controls. I can make almost nothing of this application, even tho' I know exactly what tasks I'm trying to accomplish. You can take this, and edit as necessary, to show which GUI control executes each task, or you can delete it entirely. ============================== Get the application on an online machine:

1) Download Keryx onto an online machine, and save the application to your local disk/external device/both. Get a snapshot of the oine machine: 2) Dis-connect and transfer the external device to the oine machine, and launch the application from the external device ... OR , transfer the application to the local device of the oine machine, and launch the application there. 3) Take a snapshot of the [repository] of the oine machine, and transfer the shapshot to ? folder of the external device. Return to the online machine... 4) Return the external device to the online machine, and: a) Transfer the snapshot of the oine machine to the appropriate folder in the application of the online machine, and launch the application in the online machine ... OR b) Leave the snapshot of the oine machine in its' place on the external device, and launch the application FROM the external device. 6) Once the application is launched, select the appropriate interface control [???], to update the snapshot of the oine machine. The update packages will download to the (application folder of the online machine?/application folder on the external device?). If the downloaded packages download to the application folder of the online machine, they will have to be transferred to the appropriate folder on the external device. Return to the oine machine: 7) Connect the external (updated) device to the oine machine, and launch the application (from the external device?)(from the oine machine?). 8) Execute the update function, being sure to have the downloaded packages, as well as the originally installed repo accessible to the application. Step 7 lends to MANY questions, depending on from WHERE the application is launched). These steps make no address of getting non-default packages downloaded and installed.

I'm sorry you're having a lot of trouble with this. Step 7 can be any install of Keryx to open the prole and install the packages, or you can simply plug in the ash drive with the packages to the oine machine and install with Synaptic. The whole process is quite confusing because ubuntu no longer allows you to execute programs from the ash drive. I'm very busy with the last month of college so I can't take a whole lot of time to provide support. :( I wish you luck getting software installed on your oine machine though! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

The Keryx 1.0 interface will help you through that. A prole is a snapshot of your oine machine. So you need to start Keryx and follow the instructions on the interface to create a prole. After that, you take Keryx to an online machine along with that prole and open it there.

I downloaded Keryx 1.0 to a USB drive, connected it to the oine machine, and double-clicked. As far as I can tell, Keryx is installed. I see no prompts in the GUI that will take a 'snapshot' of my current Synaptic. I see 'Reinstall Package' (keryx).

Make sure that you are running Keryx on your oine machine. If you install it with the deb package, it will be added to the System menu, or if you run it from source, just double click on bin/keryx.py. When the interface comes up, you create the prole there.

Great - thanks... I DO have it setup in the oine machine. The message at the bottom is 'Downloading package lists'. Is it creating the 'snapshot' of the Synaptic? If not, I do not see the button which DOES do that. Is this snapshot already done? I see the computer (by its' name) under 'Computer name', and also under 'Want to manage this computer with Keryx?" And then, how do I transfer the snapshot to the external device?

All you have to do is click the "Manage" button after you give it a name. You don't have to open it because Keryx needs internet for that part. The project will be stored in your home directory if you installed using the deb, otherwise it will be on the ash drive if you are using the keryx.py le. Copy it to your ash drive and either choose it from the list or browse on the online machine and you should be good to go.

Ok; I have the Keryx folder in my /home directory, on the oine machine. I copied the entire Keryx folder, and sub-folders ['Downloads', and 'Proles'] to the USB drive (not a ash/pen drive; just an external USB drive). Now I've connected the USB drive to an online machine. How does the application launch? I don't see Update, or Re-load, or Start Package Management, I just am not seeing anything which resembles ... anything.

Sure. On your online machine (I'm assuming Windows, if it is Ubuntu, you can just install the deb on there, or go directly to using the source), you'll need Python and PyGTK installed. These two les (install Python rst): http://www.python.org/ftp/pyth... http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME... You'll need the Keryx source ( http://launchpad.net/keryx/sta... ) after you have installed Python and PyGTK so that you can run it on the online machine. Double click the "bin/keryx.py" le ( the keryx.py in the bin folder ) and it will start on your new machine. You can then browse to your folder then and open up Proles, and the one you created should be listed. From there it will download the package lists, show you the list of software you can install and you can search for GParted, etc. To install, you can take the ash drive back home and either open the project up again with Keryx on the oine machine, or you can open Synaptic and click File->Add downloaded packages to have Synaptic install them. If you're just looking for GParted though, you should try using the Ubuntu CD to install that from. It comes on the LiveCD so you can actually add the CD to your oine machine and install it from there without Keryx or the internet.

I have installed Keryx 1.0 on my laptop, and via a USB key, I have installed it on my desktop, but I have made no further progress (I have no experience with Keryx 0.92). Has the vocabulary changed? Most of the comments refer to "creating a project"is this the same as choosing a prole on the home-screen of Keryx 1.0? I chose "Want to manage this computer with Keryx", and it immediately began downloading package lists (I was online with a dial-up connection) where I had expected it to save a snapshot to my USB key. What I particularly want this for is updatesI only have dial-up at home, and at times it is very erratic. Any advice will be welcome. Brant

Yes, I was hoping to clarify the concept of a prole because Keryx needs a snapshot of your oine machine (now called a "prole" instead of a "project"). I'm not sure why Keryx would have started downloading package lists unless you had opened a prole somehow. Try using the interface to download a premade project (if you have 10.04 or 10.10) and skip creating the prole on the oine machine if that makes it easier for you.

Creating a project happens on your oine machine. Keryx needs a snapshot of the oine computer before it can do its work online. The error given in 0.92 isn't helpful I realize, but 1.0 hopefully xes that. Keryx 1.0 is a complete rewrite and makes it a lot simpler to use but you need to copy the project to a ash drive or you can download a premade project using the interface.

From the tutorial there's no clear-cut instructions on which actions to carry out on the oine system and on the download system. For example, after the instructions on creating a project on the oine system, nothing was said about moving the created project to the ash drive installation of Keryx so that the project can be used for the package downloads after transferring the ash drive to the download system. I believe a more information is needed in-between 'Creating a Project' and 'Opening a Project'. And also

I apologize for the poor instructions. School started and I have run out of time to work on Keryx for a while. Creating a project takes a snapshot of your oine computer. Opening a project loads up that snapshot and downloads the lists of packages you have available. This needs to be done online. Installing packages that you downloaded in the previous step can be installed various ways on your oine machine, and it's probably best if you use Synaptic => File => Add Downloaded Packages to do so. Keryx's installation method works, but it might not be the most stable. Mind you, Keryx is still very much a work in progress, but it should at least be a good start. :-)

It's likely that Keryx missed a dependency and apt refuses to install because it is not there.

I think the apt-get install thing didn't work because the comment ended up being weirdly formatted. What I meant to say was that your command should have looked similar to this, replacing the package names after "install" with the ones you chose. sudo apt-get install pidgin xchat 3dchess You'd replace those 3 package names with whatever you chose to install, but it's probably easier for most people to use Synaptic to install instead of Terminal anyways.

Hey Enavseo, so it seems that the issue is caused from using the dierent 32 and 64 bit builds. I think that we only built 32 bit ones and after testing, had no problems.

I am using Linux Mint 9, x64 version. I used keryx in 2009 for a whole year without problem. It has helped me a great deal and was a huge reason I still use Linux at all. I'd go to an internet cafe / campus / oce with high speed internet and download software then install them at home. No problem at all. I recently installed Linux Mint 9. I am not sure about the locale but I can check if you'd tell me. I can tell you however that I set the location to : Indonesia. Language and Keyboard to : US English. Now, when I tried to download updates two days ago. Sometimes I was able to do that. I downloaded 800 mb worth of updates and softwares including KDE and XFCE. But then I got that problem where no package was shown (running in Windows, in Linux its no problemo).

Still don't know what I did wrong. I am going to try running keryx in windows, using the source code. Been having problem with downloading wxpython cos sourceforge is soooo slow.

From what I can tell so far since I got the problem, it appears to be something wrong with our binary code. Seems like running from source doesn't have any trouble but once it's compiled there are unexpected problems. Someone else today mentioned the issue to me so hopefully I can get this gured out quickly.

thanks for the reply. No, there are no error messages. When I run Keyrx it just shows me the command prompt and then closes down. I tried to open it many times, but still and I tried it in another computer also Windows 7 and also it didn't work. I am using 32 bit. Thanks.

Hmmm, double checked and it runs ne on my 64bit Win7. Do you happen to have admin permissions? If so you could try running Keryx from source (source/keryx.py) after installing Python 2.5 and wxPython (for version 2.5). If you do that, then whatever error is causing Keryx to crash will show and we can gure out how to x it for you.

Is there an error message given on Windows 7 for you? If you didn't get an error message, can you open up the command prompt and run Keryx from there to see what it outputs? Are you using 32bit or 64bit?

Raymond, you'll have to create your project on the Debian machine. If keryx won't start, try running it in the terminal so you can see any errors. Then post the errors here, on the forums, or report a bug on Launchpad.

No, the problem was I was trying to create a project under windows but now when I go into debian and double click on keryx it does nothing.

You are trying to create the new project on the Ubuntu machine correct? If you can't get that to work, you can easily download the premade projects and use one of those. We are still working on gathering the Lucid les for it's premade project but it should be ready shortly.

When I try to create a project it comes up with the message: Please create the project on the plugin's supported OS. I have the project name in the left hand box. debian is the only option in the drop down next to it. and when I click on New Project it gives me the above message.
